I want to go back and read the original trilogy cause that might make me like this book more. I did enjoy it, but I felt like the timing was off. It would feel really slow, then really fast, then slow again.

This book gave me many actual stomach aches. No book has ever done that before. But wow, it’s all just genius and incredible and to all the people who say this was fan service— you hate fun.

The story was overall engaging but, and I’m sorry to say this, I feel like this book only exists to fuel fan service. It felt like the plot was structured around inserting recognizable characters to give readers that “Aha!” moment, sacrificing a more interesting and believable plot as well as meaningful character development for Haymitch. I also felt like his narration was too simple-minded because of predictable, performative language that it didn’t always match his actions and ambitions. Maybe it was simple because he’s a 16-year-old boy, but Katniss’s narration as a teenager was still executed to make her seem smart in all her uncertainty. My expectations were probably too high but the book just felt like a fanfiction to me, from the cheesy romantic dialogue to the underwhelming games. It’s still fun (?) to re-enter this world, but this book didn’t prove to me, personally, the importance of why it exists. And I’m probably being too hard on it, but it’s hard to stack up against the original trilogy.

And mark my words, if she writes a book closer to the Dark Days,  Trinket will be a heavily featured name.

“Happy Birthday, Haymitch!”

My heart has been shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from this book.

Is this an absolutely perfect book and I have no problems with it whatsoever (aka a 5 star book), no maybe not but this book means so much to me and to the world of hunger games. This book really shows you that Katniss was not this perfect person and no one could have done it without her, this shows that she really was just a girl that had an army, luck and great timing. I love that this book tells us that Katniss is not the chosen one and everything happening in the other books is not just to punish Katniss cause she is one of a kind, it's to punish everyone and anyone who dares to speak up. 

I love all the lore drops in this and the complex characters. My fav moment is with the candy and the tree that show you that these are just kids who have grown up thinking everyone but the government is the enemy, the rich folks, the other districts, the careers when really only one person can stop all of this and we made thirst traps for him (sorry Suzanne). 

If you can't tell, all hunger books and media have a special place in my heart and I will be ofc biased for that but this is not only fan service and if you want to criticize the book it has other things you could be criticizing... but also... don't because I love it!
